I feel a paraphrase of the Al Bundy line is an appropriate title here. And it while it may not hold true for the NFL, it certainly does for the playoffs. Lose to the goddamn Chiefs, even on the road, and you might as well hang it up.But then that would require a breakdown on all levels...

I'm rooting for you to put your hands up, MissDropping last week's game to the Bengals effectively cedes a two-game lead to Larry Johnson's new squad. If the playoffs began today, everything would be quite tidy in the AFC with Division Leaders Colts, Bengals, Broncos and...

Semi-good news, as it's been reported that Troy has been walking around without a limp after sustaining a PCL sprain early in Sunday's game against the Bengals. The team is listing him as questionable, but they'd have to be seriously retarded to use him any more than a...

Hey, remember earlier this week when I extended a half compliment to Bruce Arians for his improved playcalling? So, let's be clear that that is rescinded. If I may replace any such plaudits with a chainsaw lodged in his rectum, that would be just grand.Obviously, not all of this...

It was to date unmistakably the low point of this Steelers season - Pittsburgh went into Paul Brown Stadium and thanks to a second chalk full of careless errors, handed a Bengals team the legitimacy it craved to establish with the rest of the NFL.Granted, the Bengals made all the huge...

New Benstonium Burghability video. Chuckleworthy stuff, though the concept is a slight quibble for me. If you die because you were sloppy drunk and rowdy from only drinking IC Lights, perhaps you had it coming. God just wants to thin lightweights from the heard. And if a girl pukes...

Not a particularly sexy headline there, but then it's a post with a bit of a spartan purpose. Let's look at how the Steelers are stacking up through eight games in as many phases of the game that I deem worth discussion. Worry not, there'll be plenty of talk to come later...

Kyle Orton came in with one interception all season. He threw three tonight. Ryan Clark's replacement had two of them.Meanwhile, Ben Roethlisberger tossed three touchdowns. Rashard Mendenhall ran for more than 150 yards, and for a change didn't cough the ball up. The special...

I'm sure a lot of observers who watched the Broncos game against the Ravens last week came away thinking the Ravens had somehow created a blueprint to beating Denver, which is kind of silly, because, even though Baltimore had more success than other teams have had against Denver...

Yeah, a receiver who blocks a lot is much worse than a 300-plus pound defensive lineman who stomps on people's faces. Or a safety who's made a illustrious legacy of horsecollaring people to death? And how did Vince Wilfork not crack the top 5? Last I checked, Hines never took...

Running low on AFC team themed Google images...Recently, I was asked why I confined this monthly piece to the AFC. The rationale: Unless we happen to be playing them on a given Sunday, NFC teams do not matter to the Steelers. And the playoff landscape of the NFC certainly doesn'...

Don't look into his eyes, Mr. Mittens, he'll steal your soul.Having to attend a wedding in the Fall is enough to strike fear into the heart of almost any sports fan. But, the Gods have smiled upon me, and of all weeks to be traveling away from The 'Burgh (and my television...

After losing Aaron Smith for the season two weeks ago against the Lions, I said the Steelers defense would never this season look like the dominating unit from a year ago that could win games almost entirely on their own.And with their first real test, facing an undefeated team that...

Without a doubt this is a huge signpost game on the Steelers schedule. Win, and they go to 5-2 at their bye and will be in great position to vie for one of the top seeds in the conference. A loss will likely cast them into the great swarm of teams hoping to snag a spot on Wildcard...

For the fourth consecutive game, the Steelers gave up a touchdown via the offense or the special teams to make the game closer than it should have been. The last three of those four, they've walked away with a win against teams that shouldn't be allowed to hang around against...

The Steelers, unless they plan on scuttling the rest of their season, should claim their 12th win in a row over the Clowns on Sunday. Like with the Lions the week before, as much as we all will humbly say we will take a W in any form, this is a game where they want one of those cupcake...

I was just asking how many TIMES you shake. You know, when you're doneI'm not a late night talk show kind of guy, but apparently, Leno is dying a death at the 10 o'clock spot. Even Roethlisberger can't save your ratings, Jay! Especially when Letterman has the LEADER...

Looks as though the always - to the point that it's a careworn cliche - underrated Aaron Smith suffered what could be a serious shoulder injury Sunday against Detroit. Just as the Steelers are set to welcome Troy Polamalu back to action this week against the Brownies, another,...

Even if the Steelers got the runaway victory the team and their fans desired, the qualifier would be that it was against the woeful Lions. The Steelers didn't end up getting that lopsided victory, but they did manage, by dint of three consecutive sacks on a final defensive stand...
